During my time as a student at ABC University,

I want to say:When I studied at ABC University, I was selected to mark exam papers.When I studied at ABC University, I used SPSS to complete some assignments.

If I write the sentence as:Duringmy time as a student at ABC University, I was selected to mark exam papers.Duringmy time as a student at ABC University, I used SPSS to complete some assignments.

Will this mislead people to think:Throughoutmy time as a student at ABC University, I was selected to mark exam papers.Throughout my time as a student at ABC University, I used SPSS to complete some assignments.

If you want to be absolutely sure that people won't think that you marked exam papers and used SPSS all the time you were there, you could use:

While I was a student at ABC university, I was occasionally/regularly selected to mark exam papers.

However, if you did say "During my time as..." I don't think people would necessarily misunderstand.

With your other example, I think the fact that you have chosen to say "to complete some assignments" shows that this didn't happen all the time (or throughout your time).
